The LISTPRINTERS custom statement has an alternative method for 
listing the printers that might work better in your case. To turn it 
on you need to open that custom statement. Use the Programming 
Reference wizard to find that statement, and then use command-1 to 
open the procedure. Look for a line near the top that reads

if 1=0

and change it to

if 1=1

or some other condition that's guaranteed to be true. Save, and then 
quit Panorama. When you reopen, try the Default Printer wizard again, 
and see if that's better.

The regular method that Panorama uses to make the list is listing the 
packages in ~/Library/Printers. If there are extra printers listed, 
it's because there are packages in that folder for printers you no 
longer have. If a printer is missing from that list, it means there 
is no corresponding package in the folder. The alternative method 
uses the UNIX lpstat utility.
